The packet(s) sent out after migration are supposed to be RAPR type of
packets. If they are supposed to go anywhere useful, the RAPR ethernet
identifier needs to be fix.

Also see http://www.iana.org/assignments/ethernet-numbers for 0x8035 for
RARP.

Hi! It's probably not high on the agenda, but any reason why the created 
packet
looks like a RAPR packet and yet has the wrong ethernet protocol ID? If 
this 
packet is sent  to tell the local switch that the VM is now on a different 

port, why not just send an ARP request packet asking for an IP address of 
0.0.0.0 ?
